Sell a Diamond or Engagement Ring in Chesapeake, VA
Engagement Rings · Loose Diamonds · Diamond Jewelry
A diamond deserves a gemologist’s eye, not a scrap price.
The short answer
Segal & Co Fine Jewelers in Chesapeake buys diamond engagement rings, loose diamonds, tennis bracelets and diamond jewelry, with every stone evaluated by an on-site GIA Graduate Gemologist. Natural and lab-grown diamonds are identified in front of you, the offer is explained and written down for you, good for 3 days, and you’re paid the same day or receive 25% more toward new jewelry.
What affects a diamond’s value
- Cut, color, clarity and carat weight
- Whether it is natural or lab-grown
- A grading report from GIA or another lab
- The setting’s metal and any side stones
- Brand or designer, such as Tiffany & Co. or Cartier
Natural or lab-grown?
Lab-grown and natural diamonds look the same to the eye but have very different resale values. Our gemologist uses professional equipment to identify your diamond and explains what that means for your offer.
Certified or not, we buy both
A GIA report helps, but it isn’t required. We evaluate uncertified diamonds of every shape and size.
Other options
Not sure you want to sell? We can reset your diamond into a new design through our custom design service, or provide a certified appraisal.
